Shelter is one of the most basic human needs, yet few governments have adequately addressed the development of sufficient housing that is the right type, of the right quality, and in the right locations. This urban planning master's course provides critical perspectives on the role of planning policy and practice in development, the financing and management of housing projects, and strategies to reduce the environmental impact of housing. Housing and City Planning MSc is designed for urban professionals and graduates seeking to specialise in housing development.
